It's pretty hard to master photography. 6 months of continuously shuttering my Nikon Bi Bi, I proclaim my skill has improved bit by bit. It excites me, and inspires me to shoot more Just a small tip of sharing If the light is dim, there is 3 things that I normally will adjust ISO - Choose ISO that is >800 Shutter - Choose low value such as less than 20 Aperture - Choose low value such as less than 7 These 3 things will allow more light in, and will make the image brighter Sometimes, I will change exposure mode (+) or white balance If you would love to shoot lighting, It is recommended to use continuous shooting (few snapping at once) rather than single shooting Continuous shooting is best to use when you are intended to shoot fast motion/movement It will allow you to capture the blink of change in which single shooting unable to do for I just love shooting :)
